Empower Yourself!  

Choose challenge and delight over shame and blame. This practice reminds us that we are the cause of our lives, that we manifest our reality.  

Through a fortifying fire based practice (Agni Namaskar), we will honour, accept and transcend the fears that limit us from being the change we wish to see in ourselves and in the world.   

This session will serve as a catalyst to bring you from winter into spring.  Be ready to be ignited and be prepared to sweat!

Although I had heard great things about Dave Stringer's music, I had not had the opportunity to hear him live until Bhaktifest last year in Joshua Tree California. I knew that he was well loved in the kirtan and world music scene when Donna DeLory credited him for introducing her to Kirtan music, however once Dave Stringer took the stage at Bhaktifest, thousands of people, singing together in the deserts of Palm Springs...it was amazing. He shared the stage with Krishna Das, Donna De Lory, Wah!, MC Yogi, Steve Gold and more.

Later that year, my husband Dave and I enjoyed Christmas and New Years in Costa Rica with my yoga teacher Shiva Rea and Dave Stringer joined for Kirtan and fun...we shared a beach fire, set our intentions for the new year, sang and celebrated, then meditated towards midnight. It was amazing

Fast forward to today and Dave and I are thrilled to welcome David Stringer to Yoga Shack as part my birthday celebration weekend May 5-7th. Brenda McMorrow will join Dave and we'll fill the Yoga Shack with lotsa love. Tickets are already selling online at yogashack.ca under events xo " Love Lisa

Yoga Shack Kirtan: May 5th, 8:00 - 9:30PM 

Kirtan is a practice of mantra chanting that stills the mind and frees the heart. Sung in call-and-response form, ecstasy is both the process and the product. Stringer's sound infuses the mysticism of traditional Indian instruments with the exuberant intensity of American gospel and jazz, and he is regarded as one of the most gifted singers in the genre.  

An engaging speaker with an unorthodox perspective, he has a special ability for making the Sanskrit chants come alive and inspiring people to sing. His work creates a modern and participatory theatrical experience out of the ancient traditions of kirtan and yoga, open to a multiplicity of interpretations, and accessible to all.  

Based in Los Angeles, since 2000 Stringer and his ensemble have produced 6 CDs and toured North America, Europe and Australia tirelessly.

I am addicted to hot yoga. My best friend Kristen (also one of my favourite yoga instructors) introduced me to yoga about 2 years ago and I have been hooked ever since. I was never one who enjoyed going to the gym but I would force myself to go and never really felt that I was getting any benefits and definitely didn't get the results I do with hot yoga. I've never had to drag myself to yoga because I truly enjoy going and sometimes it is hard for me to make it all the way from the big town of Aylmer, but when I do I am never disappointed. I totally agree that hot yoga is the best cure for your sunday morning hangover!! It is my favourite way to start the day - it puts me in the best mood and I feel amazing and productive for the rest of the day. I love all of the teachers and their different teaching styles, you never get the same class twice and it is never boring. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, it's like a little family at the yoga shack. I am excited to continue practicing yoga for the rest of my life -as Dave always says "your grandma could do this" I'm going to be that grandma someday!

Did you love the Mala beads worn by Julia Roberts in Eat Pray Love? We sure did...that's why we sourced our mala beads from Bali Malas. Bali Malas have been worn by Julia Roberts and Oprah and were recently profiled in O Magazine. Check them out on Julia Roberts (below).    

Buy them at Yoga Shack or via gift certificates online at yogashack.ca (gift certificates). So pretty and a great gift too. info@yogashack.ca
